The HUmanism of Jesus
This is a video of a highly dramatic one-person play, with Joseph Ben-David in five different roles. It was performed for four months in a theater in New York. Jesus is presented as a humanistic personality who challenges ancient and contemporary myths about his life and aspirations.
Millions of people are awaiting the second coming of Jesus. Prophecies warn of wars, famine, pestilence, and other calamities that will afflict humanity at the time of his second coming. But what would people really do if Jesus returned today? We know what they did to Jesus-like personalities including Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi.
The show's thrust is against the tyrannical designs of fundamentalism and the threat of the Orwellian nightmare. It speaks out freely on some of the most critical issues of life and society. Followed by discussion. All are welcome.
